Gov. Ross inaugural address
was a fine state paper. His views
on the important land question
based on two to four years expert
mental legislation on that subject,
are sound, and if the Legislature
will be guided by his suggestions
there will be little or no trouble
from that quarter hereafter. On
questions affecting the judiciary,
reformatory for youths, election
law reforms, ETC., he is well to the
front with suggestions which, if
adopted, will put Texas in line
with the most progressive states of
the Union. The Governors views
on the important questions of To-
cal government and corporate
power show deep thought and
careful study of these intricate
and sometimes troublous problems.
The EVENING HERALD on yes
terday published the able paper
in full; and hopes it will be care
fully read by citizens who should
thoroughly understand the ques-
tions which now demand the at
tention of our Legislators.

THE sheriff of Chicago declares
he has the power TO prevent the
foolish marriage of Anarchist
Spies, under sentence Of death
with Miss Nina Van Zandt, the
silly heiress; and boldly announces
the indefinite postponement of the
ceremony. The clerk having been
forced to grant the license which
he for several days withheld, it
seemed for a time that the mar
riage could not be prevented; but
the sheriff says he is not compelled
to admit any one to see the pris-
oner except his lawyer, and he
yesterday refused Miss Van Zandt
an interview with her betrothed.
1t is the general opinion that the
girls eccentricity or desire for no
toriety is being used to work up
sympathy for Spies and procure
his pardon or Communication. Were
the heroine of the play not a wo-
man, the HFRALD would remark
that she has won the champion
ship as the biggest fool in America.
